I played football with some guys last weekend...actually I should say I was humbled while running around on a football field with some other guys. I am an American who cannot play football, and it was clear that night. I just can't do anything with my feet. After the match I told a guy he played well, and he looked at me a minute and said "Well...you ran well." I guess I've got something going for me...

Another old roommate got engaged last week. The current count is up to 6...

Last Friday, I did two things I couldn't do 8 months ago. I drove a couple of volunteers to meet a local guy using a stick shift, and then translated the conversation. And yes, I was quite proud of myself.

Other than that, I've gone to school and spent time with the people here.
